Risk Assessment Description:

This Risers and Service Ducts safety checklist template is designed for electricians, installers, test & inspection engineers and supervisors who carry out electrical work inside risers and service ducts. It guides you through the essential pre‑task, in‑process and completion checks required to protect workers from electric shock, arc‑flash, burns and other hazards associated with confined‑space electrical work.

The checklist aligns with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, HSE guidance HSG85 and the requirements of BS 7671. It incorporates the latest best‑practice for safe isolation, verification, personal protective equipment and emergency preparedness.

Use this checklist for:

  • Confirming that a risk assessment, method statement and permit to work are in place before work starts.
  • Verifying that isolation, lock‑out/tag‑out and voltage testing have been correctly performed.
  • Ensuring that all tools, test equipment and PPE meet the relevant standards and are in good condition.
  • Recording the completion of make‑safe actions and the safe re‑energisation of circuits.

Key points covered include competence and authorisation, work area lighting and ventilation, safe isolation and verification, insulated tools and calibrated test equipment, appropriate PPE and arc‑flash protection, grounding and equipotential bonding, hazardous substance handling, fire‑extinguisher provision, first‑aid readiness, and a clear hand‑over procedure for re‑energising circuits.

Fully editable and shareable — customise the questions to suit your site, download as a PDF and distribute to your team.

Compliant with: Electricity at Work Regulations 1989; HSG85; BS 7671.

Yes. The checklists are written around UK health and safety good practice and HSE guidance, and are suitable for inspections, audits, toolbox checks and routine workplace monitoring.

What types of safety checklist can I create?

We are building specialist checklists across a wide range of subjects and industries — fire safety, workplace inspections, equipment and machinery checks, site inductions, vehicle checks, PPE, first aid and more. Browse by category to find the right one.

How often should safety checklists be completed?

It depends on the activity and your risk assessment — many checks are daily, weekly or monthly, while others are done before each task or shift. Completed, dated checklists provide a useful record of your monitoring.

Are the checklists a substitute for a risk assessment?

No. A checklist is a monitoring and inspection tool that complements your risk assessments and method statements — it helps confirm that controls are in place and working. Use them alongside your risk assessments.
